==== General process identification and individual process identification ====
''Jörg Becker and Volker Meise'' mention two approaches (''general process identification'' and ''individual process identification'') and state the following about general process identification: "In the general process definition, it is assumed that basic, generally valid processes exist that are the same in all companies." It goes on to say: "Detailed reference models can also be used for general process identification. They describe industry- or application system-specific processes of an organization that still need to be adapted to the individual case, but are already coordinated in their structure."<ref name="BECKER-MEISE"/> <sup>(Chapter 4.11 General process identification) ← automatic translation from German</sup>

''Jörg Becker and Volker Meise'' state the following about individual process identification: "In individual or singular process identification, it is assumed that the processes in each company are different according to customer needs and the competitive situation and can be identified inductively based on the individual problem situation."<ref name="BECKER-MEISE"/> <sup>(Chapter 4.12 Individual process identification) ← automatic translation from German</sup>

The result of the definition of the business processes is usually a rough structure of the business processes as a value chain diagram.
